Version 1.6.1 no longer adds display: 'inline-block' to icons. If you are upgrading from an older version, be sure to add the style yourself if needed.

7.5.2016

New! VK support added in version 1.6.0.

23.11.2015

Since 20th of November Twitter no longer supports open count API. The service was shut down and there is currently no way to fetch the share count. Thus, TwitterShareCount was removed in version 1.3.0.

Features:

• no external script loading, i.e. no dependencies on SDKs
• opens a popup share-window
• sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, VK
• share counts for Facebook, Google+, Linkedin and Pinterest
• share buttons with generated icons or custom icons of your choice

Demos:

• demos/demo0: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linkedin, Pinterest, VK

To run demos: clone repo and run npm install && npm run run-demos and open http://localhost:8080/demo0/.

Install

npm install react-share --save

Browser

ShareButtons work on all browsers.

ShareCounts works on all browsers, with the exception of Goolge Plus share count working only on IE11 and newer (XHR CORS problem).

Compatibility

Compatible with React versions 0.13.x, 0.14.x and 15.x.x.

API

import {
  ShareButtons,
  ShareCounts,
  generateShareIcon
} from 'react-share';

Share buttons

const {
  FacebookShareButton,
  GooglePlusShareButton,
  LinkedinShareButton,
  TwitterShareButton,
  PinterestShareButton,
  VKShareButton 
} = ShareButtons;

Required props for all:

• children: A React node (e.g. string or element)

• url: URL of the shared page (string)

Optional props for all:

• disabled: Disables click action and adds disabled class (bool)

• disabledStyle: Style when button is disabled (object, default = { opacity: 0.6 })

Required props for LinkedinShareButton, TwitterShareButton and FacebookShareButton:

• title: Title of the shared page (string)

Required prop for PinterestShareButton:

Share counts

const {
  FacebookShareCount,
  GooglePlusShareCount,
  LinkedinShareCount,
  PinterestShareCount 
} = ShareCounts;

All share count components take in only one mandatory prop: url, which is the URL you are sharing. className prop is optional.

Example:

<FacebookShareCount url={shareUrl} />

If you want to render anything else but the count, you can provide a function as a child element that takes in shareCount as an argument and returns an element:

<FacebookShareCount url={shareUrl}>
  {shareCount => (
    <span className="myShareCountWrapper">{shareCount}</span>
  )}
</FacebookShareCount>

Icons

const FacebookIcon = generateShareIcon('facebook');
const TwitterIcon = generateShareIcon('twitter');
const GooglePlusIcon = generateShareIcon('google');
const LinkedinIcon = generateShareIcon('linkedin');
const PinterestIcon = generateShareIcon('pinterest');
const VKIcon = generateShareIcon('vk');

Props:

• size: Icon size in pixels (number)

• round: Whether to show round or rect icons (bool)

• iconBgStyle: customize background style, e.g. fill (object)

• logoFillColor: customize logo's fill color (string, default = 'white')

Example:
